Actor Robert Goodman knows his stuff. He has worked with Scorsese, Besson and Roeg and has known criminals in his lifetime. We visited him at home to find out about his experience portraying a London gangster and instead discovered the unlikely key to being a real-life criminal…

‘The Return’ centres on a small-time criminal, played by actor Sam Donnelly, who uncovers a catastrophic secret. We visited him at home to find out how he approached the lead role, what it was like shooting his first film and why, ultimately, early morning starts are completely fine by him.

Director of Photography Carl Burke offers us some clues about how he shot micro-budget thriller ‘The Return’ on 35mm in 20 days and with a single gaffer. From choices made in pre-production through to decision-making on set, Carl talks about the benefit of limitation, how to avoid a catastrophe when you have no money and what still brings a smile to his face.

“If someone wants to screw you over they can, it’s easy…” Director Oliver Nias talks about the concept behind the psychological thriller The Return, tells us about the challenges of making his first feature film and why shooting on 35mm actually saved time and money in spite of a shoestring budget.
